The recent negotiations of Sony and Disney have caught a lot of attention because it was first reported that no deal was reached between the two studios to make any more Spider-Man films together. This meant that Spider-Man, now a well established character in the MCU, would basically have to start all over again. As fan being torn apart by this news I decided to take a look at this situation in the context of game theory. Game theory uses mathematical models to explain the strategic interaction between rational decision-makers. Game theory has a lot of applications in economics because it can mathematically explain what decisions are more likely to be made than others based on simple economic assumptions. In this article I wish to take an objective viewpoint of the deals that have been made or refused in order to better understand why recent decisions have been made and what future deals could look like.
